Hi everyone! Easter is quickly approaching, and with that in mind, I thought I’d bring you another Easter gift box idea in this week’s video tutorial! This one is geared more toward those who would like to celebrate the holiday in a less secular, more Christ-centered way. These gift boxes/treat boxes are shaped like a cross and would also be a great gift for things like baptisms, blessings, first communions and confirmations, in addition to Easter!

Materials:

Card stock or other heavy paper – this project works best with paper that is not thin

A scoring tool, I use this one but you can also use a pen that no longer writes

Hot glue – use whatever adhesive you’d like, but hot glue works very well for this

These are are pretty simple to make as crepe paper flowers go, and with a little practice you’ll be able to make them super fast. These would make a great Valentine’s Day, Birthday, Mother’s Day or Anniversary gift! I used two colors of crepe paper to make them look a bit more realistic, but feel free to use just one color if that’s what you have.

Hi everyone! Hope your February has been great so far! In this week’s tutorial, we’re creating some cute cat and pug themed valentines. These aren’t just your typical Valentine though, they have a special large pocket to hold whatever you’d like, such as candy or small gifts! These would also work for other occasions besides Valentine’s day.

My original design evolved a lot to become this final version. I haven’t seen anything quite like it with the pocket, and I think it turned out really fun! Sometimes running into challenges will help you create something better than what you originally had in mind.

Also, since my YouTube channel was originally named for my old pug, Mischief, it didn’t seem right that I have never done a single pug themed craft before. So we’re fixing that today 🙂

Last year’s Paper Heart Gift Box has been one of my most popular tutorials, so this year I’m back with another paper heart shaped box! This one is much easier and quicker to make, so if you didn’t feel the other one was right for you, this may be a better fit.
